probably not! Its a group project and the tensile test was carried out by another member of the group and he is adamant that it will not be thesame. If i get the strain rate from the experiment or carry out another one... I am guessing the strain rate is adjusted in the material definition but...
Only after large deformations but i have done the experiments and know thaty the peak in the energy graph is at about 18s. I do the simulation for twice that and it still has not peaked but it the material continues to stretch.
P.s At about 3seconds, the max stress value entered in the plastic...
Hi,
My name is Ade and I am trying to understand a problem I am having with my investigation into Energy absorption of polymers in an impact test.
I have specimens (Polycarbonate and ABS) and have carried out accurate tensile tests on the material.
I have model the experiment and given the...
Hi,
I am tryin to define a material porperties for a polycarbonate sheet in Abaqus 6.8 but I am finding it difficult.
I have defined:
Density
Poisson ratio
Young's modulus
I am trying to add the plastic property. I am tryin to enter the plastic strain values but due to the material softening...
